water sharing
Communal liquid allocation
Water sharing is the allocation or distribution of water resources among multiple parties—whether neighboring landowners, municipalities, states, or nations.
The term appears in legal agreements, environmental policy, and agricultural contexts where competing interests must divide limited supplies: The treaty established water sharing rights between the two countries.
Water sharing arrangements often govern rivers, aquifers, or irrigation systems.
